That's not official info, but according to the all-knowing sources of Digitimes, the iPad mini is doing quite well in terms of sales. So well, actually, that it has easily sold more units than the super-duper retina-defying iPad...

The fact is mini hits the best balance- it's a much easier to handle device(almost twice lighter, perfect for one handed reading, games, two-hand lanscape typing) while still having enough of a screen real estate (larger than 8inch tablet of 16:10 ratio), and is also a lot cheaper than the big brother.
When it gets a high resolution high quality display, and new A7 processor, the big iPad will be in big trouble.

Agreed. Apple backed themselves into a corner with this, but really didn't have a lot of choice as 7" tablets are so popular. So much for Tim saying it wouldn't cannibalize sales of the full sized iPad.

Actually, I think he said that they don't care about cannibalisation.
And that's the only proper way to look at it.
It's like natural selection, nothing wrong with one product coming on top and pushing out the other.

I think they should be happy about it.
Now they can put top notch components in the next installment of mini and up the price.

Blind Apple fans. I saw a customer asking a sales person at Switch, which is one of the stupidest question i have heard - even with the spec sheet being placed there.

"Does the iPad mini have retina screen?"

it's so obvious the pixel density is low given the resolution, meaning it is not a retina screen.
If you tell them it has retina screen, they think it is the best screen in the world not knowing there are countless phones out there with higher pixel density than the iPhone's retina screen. The dont know what exactly is retina screen, they dont know what is pixel density. But when u mention the term retina screen, they convince themselves it;s the best screen out there.

With the iPad mini going for USD $399 here it's an overpriced piece of junk with better alternatives out there.

This is so beautiful. After the never-ending retina argument, the iSheeep are buying the by far lowest resolution tablet on the market giving Apple much smaller profit margin. Same will happen with a cheaper iPhone, 2-year HW, pow PPI and the masses will jump ship from the high-end iPhones.
